Grab a cold refreshing glass of milk? You can’t do that, you are in Brazil.

Grab some Guaraná? Some what? That stuff that is in Monster Energy Drinks? Yes, that stuff. You can do that in Brazil.

In Brazil, Guaraná is a flavor of soda, and a delicious flavor at that. Guaraná Antarctica is the most popular (and seemingly only) brand, and is the second most popular soda in Brazil (behind only Coke, who produces a brand of Guaraná soda called Kuat! – not that good).

Diet (aka inferior).

So does Guaraná give you energy? Would mixing and selling it with alcohol be legal in the US?

Personally, I would place the drink somewhere between Coke and Mountain Dew on the energy scale, and as a mixer, it does well to negate the terrible taste of cachaça, but in its most basic form (soda), it is delicious.
